• Nonexudative 

Nonexudative type of age related macular degeneration show clumps of pigment in the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy, macular drusen – usually bilateral.

• Neovascular.

Typical signs of neovascular age related macular degeneration are drusen and subretinal fluid or retinal pigment epithelium detachment associated with choroidal neovascularization. Sub-, intra-, or preretinal

blood, retinal exudates, pigment epithelium loss, subretinal angiomatous proliferation. Sometimes retinal angiomatous proliferation may precede the development of choroidal neovascularization and is characterized by focal teleangiectatic retinal retinal vessels with an adjacent superficial retinal

hemorrhage and associated intraretinal edema.
